TRUMP Sues Ex-British Spy Over Dossier Containing Shocking and Scandalous Claims

LONDON (AP) — A lawyer for Donald Trump told a London judge Monday the ex-president plans to prove that “shocking and scandalous claims” about him in a largely discredited report by a former British spy were false and harmed his reputation.

Trump has sued the company founded by Christopher Steele, who created a dossier in 2016 that contained rumors and uncorroborated allegations about Trump that erupted in a political storm just before he was inaugurated. Trump is seeking damages from Orbis Business Intelligence for allegedly violating British data protection laws.

Steele’s firm is seeking to have the case thrown out and a judge said she would rule at a later date after hearing arguments in London's High Court.

The lawsuit comes as Trump is the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination while facing legal problems on the other side of the Atlantic.

Trump's lawyers are currently fighting a civil fraud trial in New York alleging he and company executives deceived banks, insurers and others by overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth to secure loans and make deals. He also faces four separate criminal cases for allegations including mishandling classified documents, trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and paying hush money to a porn actress to cover up an affair.

His lawyer noted in court Monday that Trump is a “controversial figure” who “expresses himself in strong language” and has faced criticism from judges in the U.S. However, he said none of that is relevant in the current case.

Trump “suffered personal and reputational damage and distress" because his data protection rights were violated, attorney Hugh Tomlinson said.

Steele, who once ran the Russia desk for the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, was paid by Democrats to compile research that included salacious allegations that Russians could potentially blackmail Trump for sexual activity. Trump said the dossier was fake news and a political witch hunt.

Tomlinson said it “contained shocking and scandalous claims about the personal conduct of President Trump” and included allegations he paid bribes to Russian officials to further his business interests. Trump’s case “is that this personal data is egregiously inaccurate,” he said.

Tomlinson said Trump plans to vindicate himself in court by providing evidence that the report’s claims were false.

In a written witness statement, Trump said that despite Steele's assertions the allegations have not been disproven, they were “wholly untrue.”

Trump said he had not engaged in “perverted sexual behavior including the hiring of prostitutes ... in the presidential suite of a hotel in Moscow,” taken part in “sex parties” in St. Petersburg, bribed Russian officials, or provided them with “sufficient material to blackmail me.” He also said he had not bribed, coerced or silenced witnesses.

Orbis wants the lawsuit thrown out because it said the report was never meant to be made public and was published by BuzzFeed without the permission of Steele or Orbis. It also said the claim was filed too late.

Orbis attorney Antony White said Trump has a “deep and intense animus against” Steele and the firm and a “a long history of repeatedly bringing frivolous, meritless and vexatious claims for the purpose of vexing and harassing perceived enemies and others against whom he bears a grudge.”

Trump had called for Steele to be “extradited, tried, and thrown into jail” and has called him a “lowlife” and “sleazebag” involved in the "Russian collusion hoax” who produced “a total phony con job” dossier, White said in a court filing.

Trump said in his witness statement that he was not trying to harass or seek revenge or drive Orbis into financial ruin but wants to establish that the information in the dossier was false.

“Until there is such a judgment, I continue to suffer damage and distress as a result of people wrongfully believing that the data in the dossier is accurate,” he said.

In two previous High Court cases, a judge ruled Orbis and Steele were not legally liable for the consequences of the dossier's publication.

A federal judge in Florida last year dismissed Trump’s lawsuit against Steele, 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and former top FBI officials, rejecting his claims that they helped concoct the Russia investigation that overshadowed much of his administration.

TRUMP Loses AGAIN;

UK High Court Throws OUT TRUMP Ex-MI6 SPY Christopher Steele, Dossier Case Claims

TRUMP Had Sued Ex-British SPY Over Scandalous Claims That 'Harmed His Reputation'

BBC 1 FEB 2024

Christopher Steele compiled the Steele Dossier, in which allegations about TRUMPS' Russian perverted sex games

Donald Trumps' attempt to bring a case in the UK against a former MI6 officer who compiled a salacious dossier linking him to Russia was laughable and has failed.

The former president had been seeking to use data protection laws to sue the company run by Christopher Steele but the High Court has thrown out the case.

Mr Steele compiled the dossier which contained unproven allegations about bribing officials and sex parties.

It was leaked to the media just before Trump was sworn in as president.

In bringing the lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd, he said the dossier contained allegations that were inaccurate and breached his data protection rights.

In Thursdays' ruling in London, Mrs Justice Steyn DBE said she did not make any judgement on the allegations themselves but found Mr Trumps' claim had not been brought within the six-year limitation period.

"There are no compelling reasons to allow the claim to proceed to trial," she wrote.

A statement is expected from Mr Steele later today.

The case stems from 2016, when a US political consultancy asked Mr Steeles' company to produce a report into potential Russian interference in that year's US general election.

Mr Steele, the former head of MI6's Russia desk, sent his findings to the FBI, a British national security officer and an aide to a senior US senator.

The dossier, later obtained and published by BuzzFeed News, detailed uncorroborated intelligence claims that Mr Trump had a "compromising relationship with the Kremlin".

The former president said in his witness statement when he brought the case last year that "none of these things [in the Steele dossier] ever happened."

"I can confirm that I did not, at any time engage in perverted sexual behaviour including the hiring of prostitutes to engage in 'golden showers' in the presidential suite of a hotel in Moscow."

Mr Trump said official investigations had debunked the dossier but it continued "to cause me significant damage and distress" because people still believed it.

He added that he had not had time to sue in the UK before 2023 because he had been busy being president.

Antony White KC, for Orbis, told the court in October that Mr Trump had accepted that the company was not responsible for BuzzFeed's publication of the document.

Orbis also argued that the former presidents case was an attempt to address "longstanding grievances".

An inquiry by Special Counsel Robert Mueller looked at allegations that Trumps' campaign and transition teams conspired with Russian agents to sway the 2016 election in his favour.

It did not establish that there was a criminal conspiracy but it laid out 10 instances where he had obstructed justice.

'DON' TRUMP Loses AGAIN; Ordered to Pay $382,000 After Losing UK Lawsuit Over Steele Dossier

Orbis, Founded by Former MI6 Spy Christopher Steele, Compiled Damaging Intelligence on TRUMP in 2016

TRUMP takes his court losses international: after losing ALL cases in the US, TRUMP loses in the UK

The Guardian 8 MAR 2024

TRUMP has been ordered to pay a six-figure legal bill to a company founded by a former British spy whom Trump unsuccessfully sued for making what his lawyer called “shocking and scandalous” false claims that harmed his reputation.

A London judge, who threw out the case against Orbis Business Intelligence last month saying it was “bound to fail”, ordered Trump to pay legal fees of £300,000 ($382,000), according to court documents released on Thursday.

Orbis was founded by Christopher Steele, who once ran the Russia desk for Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6.

The British court case was one of few in which Trump, who is almost sure to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, was not a defendant as he faces massive legal problems back home.

Trump is charged in four criminal cases and faces a civil complaint in US courts. He lost a subsequent defamation case in which a jury found him liable for sexual abuse, and has been ordered to pay $355m after a fraud verdict against his businesses.

In England, he had gone on the offensive and sued Orbis.

Steele was paid by Democrats for research that included salacious allegations Russians could potentially use to blackmail Trump. The so-called Steele dossier assembled in 2016 created a political storm just before Trump’s inauguration with rumors and uncorroborated allegations that have since been largely discredited.

Trump sued the company, saying the the dossier had been phony and Orbis had violated British data-protection laws.

Attorney Hugh Tomlinson said at an October hearing that the former president “suffered personal and reputational damage and distress” over claims in the dossier that he’d taken part in “sex parties” in St Petersburg and consorted with sex workers in Moscow.

Tomlinson said the dossier “contained shocking and scandalous claims about the personal conduct of President Trump” and included allegations that he had paid bribes to Russian officials to further his business interests.

Orbis had said the lawsuit should be thrown out because the report had never been meant to be made public and was published by BuzzFeed without the permission of Steele or Orbis. It also said the claim had been filed too late.

Judge Karen Steyn, who sided with Orbis in her 1 February ruling, issued an order several days later on the legal costs.

She cut the amount of legal bills Orbis said it had incurred – £634,000 ($809,000) – by more than 50% because she said it was high considering there had only been a one-day hearing.

In 2022, a US federal judge in Florida dismissed a Trump lawsuit against Steele, 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and former top FBI officials, rejecting his claims that they helped concoct the Russia investigation that overshadowed much of his administration.
